It was a good ride and the horses were lovely, but it was a bit chaotic and disorganized at the beginning as the group size could have been a bit smaller. Instructions on reins and directing your horse should be given prior to sitting on the horse. Also, there should always be a guide at the front and back of the group. At one point the lead guide had to help and individual midline leaving an inexperienced rider at the from of the line. There was no guide at the back, only near the back.
I have never ridden before but was given all the information needed to do so. The tour guides were very informative about the local area and history of Iceland. I had the best time and will be booking again when I am next in Iceland. I picked this tour due to reviews and so pleased I did. 5 stars - had a brilliant time.
The ponies are awesome and In good condition. They let the more experienced riders do some tolting.. guides are great and from all over....wonderful time!
Great ride!! Super friendly shuttle service. Wonderful group leader, who also shared incredible insights about Iceland's unique features. The group was split according to riding level as promised, so I was absolutely happy with the experience.
Best trail ride experience so far. Good length, mostly flat, picturesque. Guides informative and nice! Worked for first time riders and experienced.
Lovely experience and a great way to see some of the countryside of Iceland. I highly recommend and would do it again
No horsing around, it was a great experience. I'm a beginner and my horse by the name of litlicut was perfect. The scenery was beautiful and the lupines were blooming. A great experience!
Such a great way to spend an afternoon and get out of the city! I was picked up seconds from my hotel and it took 15 minutes to get to the stables. Everything went smoothly :) The guides were all super sweet, young women, who genuinely seemed to love their jobs and obviously, the horses. They talked you through the basics of riding a horse and I felt comfortable the whole time. We had nice weather for 90% of it but when it rained and the wind hit, it was cold so make sure to be dressed appropriately. I wish I had brought gloves. They provide you with rain gear which was helpful. They stop at a point to take individual pictures of you. Scenery was incredible! Horses are on the smaller side which was cool. After the ride, they offer coffee and tea. I liked that there were only 15 people on the tour. It felt more in casual and intimate. I highly recommend this for the price and experience.
We had a blast on our horse ride. All the ladies working there were wonderful and very knowledgeable. You can tell the horses are well trained and taken care of. The sights were beautiful and you feel comfortable even if you’re not an expert rider. Highly recommended to enjoy some wonderful local sight seeing, and delicious coffee at the end.
Awesome ride back in the lava fields. Staff was wonderful and would recommend it highly. It rained but They provided gear to keep us dry!!
